Solution 3 (Burnside Lemma)

Burnside lemma is used to counting number of orbit where the element on the same orbit can be achieved by the defined operator, naming rotation, reflection and etc.

The fact for Burnside lemma are

1. the sum of stablizer on the same orbit equals to the # of operators;

2. the sum of stablizer can be counted as $fix(g)$

3. the sum of the $fix(g)/|G|$ equals to the # of orbit.


Let's start with defining the operator for a cube,

1. $textbf{e (identity)}$

For identity, there are $frac{8!}{4!4!} = 70$


2. $textbf{r^{1}, r^{2}, r^{3}} to be the rotation axis along three pair of opposite face.

3.$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)textbf{r^{4}, r^{5}, r^{6}, r^{7}} to the rotation axis along four cube diagnals.

4. $textbf{r^{8}, r^{9}, r^{10}, r^{11}, r^{12}, r^{13}}
